Why was this taken out of the puzzle category? As far as I can tell....it is a puzzle. Besides that, if it's not a puzzle, then what is it? --[[User:Mwn3d|Mwn3d]] 14:03, 11 December 2007 (MST)
:I removed it, since it's not a puzzle since no thinking is involved in solving it. All that it is, is writing the specification in the syntax of a language.
::The thought is in how to do best do it in a given language. When the task first went up, most of the exaples used an if-elseif-else approach, which couldn't really be expanded efficiently. (See the FizzBuzzJazz comment above.) Also, compare the text of [[Template:Task]] and [[Template:Puzzle]]. Their goals differ slightly. While a normal task benefits more from syntactical and functional uniformity, a puzzle benefits from drawing out how different approaches affect efficiency.
